Brian is the popular former Governor of Montana and he'll be a tremendous force in the Senate. As governor, he stood up to lobbyists and big corporations and has a record of leadership that is desperately needed in Washington.

He fought for a single-payer healthcare system for Montana and championed a drug reimportation program that would have saved seniors big money. Thanks to his leadership on these issues and more, it's no wonder that a snap survey showed 93 percent of Montana DFA members want us to draft him for Senate.

This is an open seat race in a red state, but I'll guarantee you: If Brian Schweitzer runs, he will be the next Democratic Senator from Montana.

I am 100% behind the Governor. Max Baucus has stalled progressive legislation at every turn. He diluted the health care bill in a way that is unacceptable to many on the left. His former chief of staff David Castagnetti---now a major Washington lobbyist--helped to water down the health care bill and was instrumental in bringing Baucus on board in that effort.

I met Governor Schweitzer when he came to our town to give a talk, and I was most impressed with him and what he had to say. Yes, he should run!!!

I believe Gov. Schweitzer would be a much more cooperative and energetic advocate for the Democrats' agenda, and, importantly, he should be easily electable in Montanta! We need him in the Senate!

Kaye Clarke

I think he's a good candidate.

Germain Holmes

Please run!

I'm for anyone who will stand up to corporate lobbyists and who will work for a federal government single-payer health care system.
